DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The UC San Diego Department of Radiology is resubmitting a competitive renewal of its postdoctoral training grant for medical residents, "Training Clinical Scientists in Radiological Imaging". Following its first five-year funding cycle the department's innovative training program has met with great success. The group of trainees has begun joining academic departments to embark on their own academic careers, with excellent publication records in high impact journals, awards for their work-one for being the most cited article in Neuroimage in 2011-and having already been awarded grants to support their work and 2 NIH R01 grants to support mentor. The growing role of imaging in clinical care and biomedical research has resulted in an acute need for clinician- scientists skilled in cutting-edge imaging science. At present, there exists a talented pool of medical student applicants to academic radiology residency programs across the U.S.A. with >20 MD/PhDs and a >50 MDs that have spent >1 year of dedicate research time during medical school per year. Only a small fraction is enticed to stay in academic radiology and pursue research. The training program described in this proposal builds on the department's proven 4-year clinical training program by adding a full research year at the beginning of residency that is then built upon throughout the clinical training by spending 6 weeks of dedicated research time per year for the balance of the 4 years. Three one-year slots will be made available to applicants to the department's five-year radiology residency program. The goal is to tailor the training program to the individual needs of each applicant and to maximize trainees' research experience at UCSD. Clinical training will focus on areas of specific interest to the trainee in addition to meeting requirements for board certification. The clinical years will be consecutive to maximize trainees' learning; however, trainees will maintain contact with their research mentors throughout their stay at UCSD. The mentorship provided by each laboratory leader during trainees' research year and by the clinical scientist throughout the five-year residency will link their research and clinical experiences and provide them a model for future careers as clinical scientists. In addition to research opportunities and career mentorship, the program includes specialized lectures tailored to the needs of each trainee and workshop specific to academic radiologists. A Match Program-offered integrated training program focusing on the career of clinical scientists ensures equal access to all applicants and allows us to engage residents early in their training, resulting in committed, well-trained clinical scientists. UCSD is well suited to train the next generation of imaging scientists. For this proposal, we have assembled 16 Radiology and 8 non-radiology mentors that together have trained over 300 trainees in the past 10 years, have over 110 active grants and $70M in grant support and their trainees have published nearly 700 papers most of which is in high impact journals.

描述（由申请人提供）：加州大学圣地亚哥分校放射科正在重新提交其针对住院医生的博士后培训补助金的竞争性更新，“放射成像临床科学家培训”。在第一个五年资助周期之后，该部门的创新培训计划取得了巨大成功。这群学员已经开始加入学术部门，开始自己的学术生涯，在高影响力期刊上拥有出色的发表记录，他们的工作获奖（其中一篇是 2011 年 Neuroimage 上被引用次数最多的文章），并且已经获得了以下项目的资助：支持他们的工作，并获得 2 笔 NIH R01 拨款来支持导师。成像在临床护理和生物医学研究中的作用日益增强，导致对精通尖端成像科学的临床医生科学家的迫切需求。目前，美国各地存在一批申请学术放射学住院医师计划的医学生人才，其中有超过 20 名医学博士/博士，以及超过 50 名医学博士每年在医学院期间花费超过 1 年的专门研究时间。只有一小部分人被吸引留在学术放射学领域并从事研究。本提案中描述的培训计划建立在该部门经过验证的 4 年临床培训计划的基础上，在住院医师实习开始时增加了一个完整的研究年，然后每年花费 6 周的专门研究时间来建立在整个临床培训的基础上。 4年的余额。该部门的五年放射科住院医师计划的申请者将获得三个为期一年的名额。目标是根据每个申请人的个人需求定制培训计划，并最大限度地提高学员在加州大学圣地亚哥分校的研究经验。除了满足委员会认证的要求外，临床培训还将重点关注受训者特别感兴趣的领域。临床年数将连续进行，以最大限度地提高学员的学习效果；然而，学员在加州大学圣地亚哥分校学习期间将与他们的研究导师保持联系。每位实验室负责人在学员研究年期间以及临床科学家在五年住院期间提供的指导将把他们的研究和临床经验联系起来，并为他们作为临床科学家的未来职业生涯提供一个模型。除了研究机会和职业指导之外，该计划还包括根据每位学员的需求量身定制的专门讲座以及针对学术放射科医生的研讨会。匹配计划提供的综合培训计划专注于临床科学家的职业生涯，确保所有申请人都有平等的机会，并使我们能够让住院医师尽早参与培训，从而培养出忠诚、训练有素的临床科学家。加州大学圣地亚哥分校非常适合培养下一代成像科学家。对于这项提案，我们聚集了 16 名放射学导师和 8 名非放射学导师，他们在过去 10 年里总共培训了 300 多名学员，拥有超过 110 项有效资助和 7000 万美元的资助支持，他们的学员发表了近 700 篇论文，其中大部分是发表在高影响力期刊上。
